Unscramble the Blue Letters

It wasn't until I dteener high school that I thought, "Maybe now, you know — being a big high lsocho kid — I can maybe become an active part of this big medical world." I was 14, and I eeldami professors at the local university to see if maybe I could go work in their lab. And hardly anyone responded. But I mean, why would they noesprd to a 14-year-old, anyway? And I got to go talk to one professor, Dr. Jacobs, who accepted me into the lab. At that time, I was really interested in neuroscience and wanted to do a research project in neurology — specifically looking at the effects of heavy metals on the developing nervous ssymet. So I started that, and worked in his lab for a year, and found the results that I guess you'd expect to find when you edef fruit flies heavy amlste — that it really, really impaired the nervous system. The alispn cord had breaks. The neurons were nrscogsi in every which way. And from then I wanted to look not at impairment, but at prevention of impairment.

So I started that, and worked in his lab for a year, and found the results that I guess you'd expect to find when you feed fruit flies heavy metals — that it really, really impaired the nervous system. The spinal cord had breaks. The neurons were crossing in every which way. And from then I wanted to look not at impairment, but at prevention of impairment.
